Greg and Sue Harding are proud owners of a Lagoon 440 and lifelong sailors who have embraced the Lagoon lifestyle wholeheartedly.
“Our love affair with Lagoon started from day one. We always had in the back of our mind that someday we would own a catamaran. We knew the outstanding reputation of the Lagoon brand and the model we wanted… we just couldn’t afford to say no to a Lagoon!
The Lagoon is so safe… Sue’s 77 year old mum spent five weeks cruising with us. She didn’t want to go home! With a Lagoon, you can escape the modern world. This a lifestyle that takes away the stresses of the modern age. You can be as independent or as social as you want.”

Six months into their liveaboard journey, Kristy, Darren, and their three kids are fully immersed in Lagoon life aboard Pacific High. From baby-friendly design to independent space for each child, the Lagoon has made this lifestyle not only possible, but enjoyable for the whole family.
“Lagoons are perfect as a liveaboard option. They have plenty of room, and everyone in the family has their own space, the boat never feels cramped.
The boat itself is actually pretty baby-friendly… cupboards have push buttons, furniture is fixed, and with the safety nets and gates, it’s a secure environment for Frankie.
We’ve had some amazing experiences. Sailing is something we all love, and most importantly, we all really like being together and enjoying quality family time.”

For Justin and Kelly Felter, the Lagoon 380 is more than just a yacht, it’s their home, their office, and their gateway to a global adventure. Designed for simplicity, comfort, and long-term liveaboard life, the 380 has proven to be the perfect vessel for their dream lifestyle.
“We chose the Lagoon 380 for her spacious interior, it’s like a floating apartment with so much indoor and outdoor living space. She’s super easy to sail and has everything we need to live and work on board comfortably.
We’ve added solar, a watermaker, and batteries to live off the grid, and we still can’t believe how peaceful it is. We wake up to sunrises, dolphins, and views from our cabin that beat any office window.
To be honest, if we’d known how great life is on a Lagoon, we’d have made the change years ago.”

For over 15 years, Steve and Katrina have trusted Lagoon catamarans to bring their unique vision to life. Through their award-winning business, Sailaway Port Douglas, they’ve offered guests world-class access to the Great Barrier Reef, combining luxury, sustainability, and adventure aboard their fleet of Lagoons.
“With Lagoon, we’ve been able to live our passion for sailing, nature and the environment. I knew from the start these boats had the quality and design to support our vision. Our Lagoon 500 has done the equivalent of three laps around the world and still sails beautifully. The Lagoon 560 gives us confidence in all conditions, even 80-knot winds in the Bahamas.
These are not just boats, they’re our way of delivering comfort, authenticity and a message about sustainability to every guest who steps aboard.”

When Grant and Mary Forbes swapped their monohull for a Lagoon, they set out from Geelong with limited experience and an open mind. Nearly a decade later, they’ve cruised across Southeast Asia, tackled rough seas, joined international rallies, and turned their Lagoon into a floating home, studio, and gateway to adventure.
“Our Lagoon 440 is fast, safe and incredibly comfortable. She handles rough seas with confidence and motors beautifully through calm conditions. It feels more like a floating apartment than a boat, with everything we need for long-term cruising.
We weren’t experienced sailors when we left Melbourne, but this boat has taken us all the way through Indonesia, Malaysia and beyond. She’s stable, well-designed, and lets us live this lifestyle without stress. It’s the perfect retirement, adventurous, inspiring and full of great company.”

As the Jones family settled in for their final month in Lisbon, they experienced the highs and lows of boat ownership. Between technical upgrades and toddler meltdowns, they found beauty in the chaos and joy in the everyday rhythms of life aboard a Lagoon 42. Aaron tells us “…living on Sabella is wonderful. Whilst much smaller than an Australian house, we each have our own space and it doesn’t feel cramped.”

After weathering winter in Les Sables, Aaron, Lara, and their two daughters began the journey south toward Lisbon. With support from TMG and a delivery skipper onboard, they put Sabella through her first serious ocean test, and came out stronger, more skilled, and inspired.
“Our Lagoon 42 handled the Bay of Biscay far better than expected. We set off in cold, windy conditions and motored straight into 20 hours of waves and headwinds, she didn’t skip a beat.
The real highlight was her downwind performance. With the Code 0 up, we were making half wind speed in light conditions, which I didn’t think was even possible in a cruising cat. Sabella just felt incredibly stable and capable throughout.
There were so many unforgettable moments, sunsets, dolphins, peaceful night watches, but most of all, we kept saying how lucky we felt to be experiencing it all from our own floating home. This boat has given us a new way of living.”

John and Mariet are no strangers to the Lagoon community. With three Lagoons under their belt and decades of sailing experience, they’ve developed a deep appreciation for what sets these catamarans apart. Their latest love, Themis, a meticulously upgraded Lagoon 450F is a standout not just for its condition but for the thought and care John has poured into every detail.
“Themis looks brand new, I’m very particular. From the 2.4KW of solar to the lithium battery bank, we’ve never needed shore power. We’ve added a code 0 with continuous furling, an electric outboard on a lightweight dinghy, a watermaker, and a custom hardtop you can walk on. Everything is designed for real liveaboard comfort and off-grid freedom.
Lagoon boats are properly built for cruising, strong, smart, and easy to sail short-handed. I’ve owned other cats, but I keep coming back to Lagoon because they simply get better every time. For comfort, reliability, and thoughtful design, nothing else compares.”

Graeme and Linda Hubbard weren’t planning to buy a boat, but when they stepped aboard the Lagoon 39, they were instantly sold. With its apartment-style layout, sweeping views, and easy handling, Zephyr offered everything they were looking for in a cruising catamaran.
“As soon as we got onboard, we were sold, the sliding doors, the 360-degree view, and that big window by the kitchen sink made it feel like an apartment. The layout just works. There’s so much storage, the cabins are spacious, and the galley being up top makes a huge difference.
For our age, it’s the perfect boat. It’s easy to walk around, stable, and simple to sail, the electric winch is a dream. We’ve always had fun on boats but this is the easiest, most comfortable one yet. And the handover from Ross at TMG was fabulous, he went through everything in detail, which we’ve never had before.
This isn’t hard work. It’s easy and cruisey. We’ll see more people, share more laughs, and drink more bubbly aboard Zephyr, that’s what it’s all about.”

When caravanning didn’t quite fit the bill, Darren and Kristy Waters made a bold move, they sold up and bought a Lagoon 500. With three kids in tow and minimal sailing experience, they’ve embraced a new kind of freedom aboard Pacific High, their floating home designed for long-term adventure.
“We looked at smaller catamarans at first, but as soon as we stepped aboard the Lagoon 500, we knew it was the one. The layout is perfect for family life, there’s space for everyone to retreat to their own room, a galley upstairs where I can keep my kitchen gear, and the open living area makes it feel more like a home than a boat.
We wanted the kids to grow up in nature, not stuck to a routine, and Pacific High gives us that. We can anchor in beautiful places, let them kayak to the beach, snorkel, explore. We’re more present, more connected, and less distracted.
Honestly, it’s not as hard as people think. Our Lagoon is incredibly user-friendly, and the community you meet out here is amazing. If anyone is thinking of doing the same… just do it.”

For the Atkinson family, life aboard their Lagoon 400 Katsumi is more than just a lifestyle choice, it’s a commitment to freedom, learning and family connection. For the past six years, Nick and Lyndy and their daughters, have called their 40ft catamaran home.
“We weren’t actively looking, but when we saw the Lagoon 400, it was exactly what we’d dreamed of for 20 years. Living aboard has given our daughters a childhood full of freedom, exploration and hands-on learning. Education happens 24/7 out here, from tying knots to marine biology to navigating with dad. Every time we leave the dock, it feels like a holiday, even if it’s just for one night.”

When John and Tania Notaras took delivery of their brand-new Lagoon 52F Paradise, it marked a bold step into a new chapter of boating. Having only owned smaller fishing boats, this was their first serious leap into life aboard a luxury cruising catamaran. What drew them in? The comfort, space, and the ability to entertain 12 people while still being easy to manage short-handed.
“The Lagoon 52F gave us the space we wanted without sacrificing ease of use. TMG Yachts were always available and did everything they could for us, it’s been a very supportive process. We’re still learning, but we already know we made the right choice. This boat is our own little escape – our Paradise.”

After a life-changing accident left him a quadriplegic, former Paralympian Clifford Clark didn’t slow down, instead, he set his sights on the sea. Starting with Sailability in Cairns and now proudly helming a custom-modified Lagoon 42, Cliff has transformed what was once a dream into an extraordinary reality.
With support from TMG Yachts, Cliff tailored the Lagoon 42 to suit his needs, making it one of the only 42-footers that could accommodate a wheelchair across the entire deck, down each side, and into the saloon. From fitted lifts to electric winches and accessible rigging, every detail of the boat has been adjusted to empower his independence on the water.
“The 42 was the only catamaran that had enough space for me to wheel around the entire deck and through the galley. Being out on the water gives me access to places I’ve never seen before. It’s total freedom. I can’t wait to cruise the Whitsundays with my family, then sail up to Cairns and reunite with my Sailability mates. This boat has changed my life.”
